The Haqqani network is a U.S. designated terrorist group with deep ties to the Taliban.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Military Times was not able to confirm with U.S. officials whether the Haqqani leader was killed or if U.S. forces participated in the operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on the latest UN assessment, over 5,000 civilians have been killed or wounded in Afghanistan this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are currently over 8,000 U.S. service members serving in the war-torn country. But that number is expected to rise with the White House\u2019s new strategy for South Asia, which includes an unknown increase in U.S. forces in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/AFG?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AFG<\/a> Seized by 333 in Logar after Afghan Special Forces killed top Haqqani network commander Mullah Qaand in Logar.
